New solutions are emerging that help connect searchers with content, but established principles also need to be followed. "In the past, users might go to a company's home page and look for information, but now, they are asking questions like what time a store in a particular location is open," noted Erin Jaeger, director of product marketing at Yext. Ideally, onsite search should be integrated with enterprise systems that also help pro­vide as complete a picture of the user as possible.

CloudJumper Unveils Cloud Workspaces for Microsoft Azure

CloudJumper, provider of a workspace as a service (WaaS) platform for agile business IT, has announced Cloud Workspaces for Azure. The enhanced platform integrates the Cloud Workspace Management Suite with Microsoft’s Remote Desktop modern infrastructure (RDmi) for increased visibility into the user’s Azure, Office365, and Cloud Workspace experience.

The Cloud Workspace Management Suite for Azure deploys IT application workloads, eliminating the need to host components outside of Azure’s Compute environment. To simplify system access, the solution allows users to pass their Active Directory Domain Services credentials throughout the platform, using single sign-on to access applications based on user-defined policies for a better overall experience. According to the vendor, the updates for desktop services in Azure will manage every layer of the administrator’s technology stack, as well as server resources with dynamic resource adjustment as requirements change. The solution also integrates billing into the administrator’s interface to streamline client management and simplify administration.

The CloudJumper solution is built for the channel and offers a Windows application delivery solution to support cloud-enabled business-class applications and data delivery. CloudJumper’s new Azure Web Application with HTML 5 integration eliminates the need for a separate broker infrastructure, helping with economies of scale and tying access points back to a single location. The uncoupled broker infrastructure also allows service providers to use the solution in a multi-tenant environment.

In conjunction with RDmi, the Azure-based service provides complete usage visibility for the provider, enabling higher levels of business mobility and agility for customers while reducing the time, resource, and management requirements typically required for IT management. The CloudJumper solution redefines oversight and management with 24x7x365 monitoring, on-demand service scaling, while providing a significant reduction in the IT hardware, software, and management costs of traditional IT.
